Take a journey to 2030 where
Visionary Evaluatives abound and link with one another in actively bringing about a
sustainable, equitable future. Utilizing a creative storytelling approach,
Visionary Evaluation for a Sustainable, Equitable Future brings forward the
centrality of values in conjunction with the role of evaluation in building a future
of well-being for people, nature, and planet.

Visionary Evaluatives are guided by six
principles.
Those principles highlight a commitment to equity and the sustainability of nature
as core values. They emphasize an orientation of humility, compassion, and
transparency as Visionary Evaluatives engage with others in a world of living,
entangled systems with both obvious and hidden intersectionalities. They require
Visionary Evaluatives to engage in deep praxis—mindful and challenging reflection on
what is being learned through the intersection of values, iterative action and
inquiry, theory, outcomes, and vision. A diverse group of chapter authors share
their wisdom through envisioning 2030 and what it might mean to move in the world
applying aspects of the Visionary Evaluative Principles.

Through Visionary Evaluation for
a Sustainable, Equitable Future, you will learn about how you can contribute
to a sustainable, equitable future not only in evaluations, as either users or
practitioners, but also in your daily actions and lives.
